I wasn't paying attention as I walked through the portrait hole and straight into someone. "I'm so sorry." I said and bent down to pick up my things.

"Alyssa." said the person I ran into, a voice I would recognize anywhere. The voice of Cedric Diggory.

I froze. I was not prepared for this. Not yet. I stood up but kept my eyes down. "Cedric."

"H-how are you?" he nervously asked.

"Fine. Just coming back from the library."

"Good. Listen, I've been trying to talk to you."

"Cedric…"

He put his hand under my chin and lifted my head so he could look me in the eyes. "Please Alyssa?"

I sighed, looking into his gray eyes. They were not as bright as I was used to. "Okay. But not here."

He nodded. "Room of Requirement?"

"That's fine. Just let me put my things away."

The walk to the Room of Requirement was spent in an awkward silence. I took the time to try and figure out what to say when we got to our destination, as well as admire how good Cedric looked in jeans. I shook my head and put my hands in my own jean pockets. "Ladies first." he said, opening the door for me.

I gave him a small smile and walked into the room. I sat on the couch we were provided and brought my legs up so I was sitting Indian-style. Cedric sat on the other end. "What'd you need to talk to me about?" I asked.

"The night of my birthday." he said. I had never seen him this serious, not even about Quidditch. "About what happened with Cho. I swear I didn't kiss her."

I nodded. "I know. Katie just told me." I put my head in my hands. "I can't believe I even thought—but it looked—and then—"

Cedric grabbed my hands and pulled them from my face." I know how it must've looked. I understand your reaction." He kissed both my hands.

I smiled. "How can you be so understanding?"

"Because I love you."

Tear began forming in my eyes. He said he loved me. He actually admitted it. "I love you too."

He brushed my tears away. "Then why are you crying?"

"Because I never thought you'd be mine." I paused. "You are mine…right?"

Cedric smiled and kissed me. "As long as you'll have me." He leaned in to kiss me again. I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him down to me. The couch changed to a queen sized bed right underneath us. "A week is too long for me to not touch this body. I've missed you so much."

"I've missed you too." I said. I ran my tongue from his neck to his ear. He unzipped my Hogwarts hoodie and took off my pale pink shirt. He then undid my jeans and threw them to the ground. I was only in a pink bra and matching boy shorts.

"Is this okay?" he asked.

I reached up to him and took off his shirt. "Cedric, I was planning on doing this on your birthday. Believe me, I want this just as much as you do." I undid his jeans and pushed them off along with his rarely worn boxers. I looked at the naked man before me. I know, I've seen him like this before, but I was a little too nervous to really take him in.

Cedric never broke eye contact with me as he took off my bra and underwear. We were taking each other in when a silver packet appeared next to my head. He picked it up and chuckled. The packet was a condom. "This room really does give you what you need." He looked at me. "Are you sure?"

I nodded. "Yes." Cedric kissed my lips and opened the packet. He carefully rolled the condom on and placed himself at my entrance, lightly brushing against me, turning me on even more.

"If it hurts too much, tell me and we'll stop." he said. I took a deep breath as he slid into me, stretching my walls. We stayed like that for a moment while my body adjusted to his. "Ready?" I nodded. He pulled out almost all the way before entering me again. He did this a few more times, each time the pain lessened.

"Cedric." I breathed, letting the pleasure take over me. He kissed my neck while thrusting in and out of me. I could feel myself getting closer to my climax. "Faster." He obliged and hastened his speed."

"Oh, Alyssa." he moaned. "You feel so good." A few more thrusts and we both came, calling each other's name. He rolled off me and collapsed. "Wow."

My pulse was racing. "Yeah."

He finally got the strength to get off the bed and dispose of the condom. He grabbed his wand and performed the cleaning spell over both of us. He crawled back onto the bed and pulled the covers over us. "We should probably go back to the common room." he whispered.

I lay my head on his chest. "Don't wanna. I'm comfortable here."

Cedric laughed and put both arms around me. "You win." He kissed the top of my head. "Goodnight Aly. I love you."

I smiled. "I love you too."

When I woke up the next morning, I realized three things: 1) I was naked, 2) I wasn't in my bed, and 3) someone's arm was across my stomach, holding me to them. I turned over as gently as I could and came face to face with Cedric. A naked Cedric to be exact. Memories of last night washed over me and I couldn't help but blush. I just laid there, watching him sleep. The peaceful look on his face made him look like one of those Greek gods. I ran my hand across his cheek lightly.

"A guy could get used to waking up like this." Cedric said, scaring me.

I smiled. "Oh yeah?" He nodded and pulled me into a long kiss. All of a sudden, Cedric's watch alarm went off. We looked at each other and shouted, "Quidditch!" We scrambled out of bed and dressed in a hurry. I tried to ignore the pain pulsing between my legs. Well, I thought as we ran to the Hufflepuff common room. At least I'm not the one riding a broom.

"Where were you last night?" Vivi asked when I slipped into the Hufflepuff stands, barely making it in time.

I smiled. "Cedric and I talked."

"So are you back together then?" Kristy whispered.

"Yeah." I turned around to look at Arabelle. "By the way Ara, you were right."

Arabelle looked at me confused. "Right about what?"

I grinned. "Sex with Cedric is amazing."

The girls' responses to my comment were cut off by the Quidditch game starting. "Good morning everyone!" Lee Jordan said into his microphone. "Welcome to another rousing game of Quidditch, Hufflepuff vs. Gryffindor!" Everybody cheered. "Entering from the left of the stadium is Gryffindor, led by their captain Oliver Wood, who, rumor has it, has already been signed onto the Puddlemere United reserve team."

"Stick to the game Jordan!" McGonagall yelled.

"Yes Professor." Lee said. "And entering from the right side of the stadium is Hufflepuff, led by their captain Cedric Diggory. Cedric, according to rumors, had a fling with his best friend's, Oliver Wood, little sister Alyssa that ended horribly."

"How the hell did he know?!" I yelled. I looked at Kristy who was purposefully picking lint off her sweater. She was notorious for gossip and had a 'benefits' thing with Lee.

"Jordan!" McGonagall yelled. "What have we said about gossip on the pitch?! Stick to the game!"

"Right you are Professor." Lee's attention turned back to the game. "The captains shake hands and both teams take to the sky. Madame Hooch blows the whistle and the game begins. Gryffindor in possession, Katie Bell of Gryffindor heading for the goal. And…she scores! Good on you Katie!"

The game went on and Gryffindor was kicking our ass. There's a reason Oliver's got a spot on the reserves team, he's just too damn good. "Knock Oliver off his broom!" I yelled.

Vivi looked at me in shock. "That's your brother!"

"Yeah and he got on my bad side. If I can't act on my aggression, I'll let someone else." We looked up just in time to see Rob get knocked off his broom. "Rob!" I grabbed Rob's girlfriend and headed down to the pitch.

(Cedric's POV)

I called a timeout as soon as I saw Rob hit the ground. The other team members and I landed and ran to Rob. His girlfriend and Alyssa met us there. "He's out could." Madame Hooch said. "You have two options Mr. Diggory. You can play on, short a beater, or you can get a substitute."

I nodded. "There's only one person who knows enough about Quidditch and our strategies." I looked at my girlfriend. "Alyssa, please?"

Alyssa looked at all our pleading eyes and sighed. "I'll do it."

(Alyssa's POV)

I swear I'm going to kill that lovable boyfriend of mine. I thought as I sat on my borrowed broom. I cringed at contact and took to the sky. Hopefully, the rest of the game wouldn't last too long. "It seems we have a substitution folks." Lee said. "It appears that Alyssa Wood has replaced Rob Quinton as beater."

"Alyssa!" Oliver yelled to me. "What are you doing? You suck at Quidditch! You can't hit a thing!" Oh. He was going down.

The game started up again and I made it my goal, no wait, my mission to take Oliver down. First my brother doesn't tell me the Cedric/Cho thing wasn't what I though and now he was insulting me in front of the entire school. Oh hell no. I saw a bludger flying towards me. I did a little flip and hit it right towards Oliver. It hit him right in the gut and he went down.

Hufflepuff was able to score a few goals before Cedric caught the snitch. Hufflepuff won 350 to 300. Everybody landed and before I could get off my broom, Cedric enveloped me in a huge hug and kissed me in front of the whole school. "It appears, ladies and gents, that the rumors regarding Cedric and Alyssa have been proven wrong." Lee said into the microphone, barely missing McGonagall's hand. "All I can say is: go Cedric. Bom chicka bom wow wow." This time, Lee wasn't fast enough. McGonagall smacked Lee upside the head and gave him two nights detention.

Cedric and I laughed. I grabbed his hand. "Come on. Let's go check on my brother."

Trinity: Here ya go. Another chapter. I was going to post it last night, but my computer was spazzing out. Stupid computers. Well, school started back today so I don't know when I'm going to have time to write. Hopefully I'll be able to write more.
